[GREN-Exec] proposed agenda GREN Mar 5, 2020

[Susan Koswan]

Thanks John,

My thinking is that we limit all issue updates and emerging issues to 5 
minutes each. Because not everyone is interested in every issue, the 
networking/socializing time is to give each of us the opportunity to 
discuss separately from the whole group and figure out what they want to do.

We could also allot time (15 minutes maybe?) after 
networking/socializing for everyone to come back with action items for 
each issue.

I'm trying to take the onus off the chair to be the heavy-hand on the 
time-gavel.

Thoughts?
